Olympus Tough TG-4 camera.

Hi,
Just posted a review of this amazing little bombproof underwater camera on my blog.
http://www.twigwater.com

In brief, it's a compact 16mp pocket camera that's waterproof to 50+feet, drop proof and freeze proof.
It's also got GPS and Wi-Fi and records water pressure, air pressure, barometer and altitude.
The image quality, though short of a pro DSLR is very good.
In use, it's a perfect fishing camera for people who aren't so much interested in the photography as they are the result. It's easy to learn, easy to use and very easy to love.
On one of the days I tested it, bass fishing with Morsie, it absolutely pissed down and I shot right trough it.
A great bit of gear !

Cheers.

Yep I've thought of getting one. I have a Lifeproof waterproof case for the iPhone and run a Go-Pro sometimes. For me everything has to be waterproof. I drowned a SLR many years ago, and to be honest it was always a real pain to carry around. I had to keep it in a waterproof sack at all times, consequently quick shots were impossible and I ended up taking very few shots because it was such a hassle to unpack.

Cheers, Paul

Would go along with all that Dave , Have a TG 850 which looks similar and the range of what it can do is great especially for a non photographer like myself.

Nice John. That second one wouldn't be NZ by any chance? Reminded me of the road above Waikerimoana. :)

Somewhere, deep among the debris, I have the "same shot" from there. Taken in parting. Aarrgh too long away from that very special place. Must be ten years. :(
